Shrimp Pesto Pasta

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked whole-wheat blend pasta (like Barilla Plus Rotini)
• 1 cup cooked frozen cooked shrimp, lightly thawed (if the tail is on, remove tail)
• 3 tablespoons prepared pesto (like Armanino frozen pesto)
• 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 cup finely chopped red bell pepper or 1 medium tomato, chopped

Preparation:

1. In medium, microwave-safe bowl, toss pasta, shrimp, and pesto together. Warm briefly in the microwave for a minute or two if needed. If the pasta is hot, it will usually warm the pesto and shrimp quite a bit.
2. Top with shredded Parmesan and chopped red bell pepper or tomato and serve.
